What Is the First-Line Treatment for Vocal Fold Polyp?

This protocol covers the structured first-line approach to vocal fold polyp — an intervention designed to reduce lesion size without requiring operative anaesthesia.

Treatment Approach

The first-line protocol uses a submucosal injection technique performed as an in-office, awake procedure. The specific agent, volume, and procedural criteria are detailed in the full protocol.

A literature review by Dassé and De Monès Del Pujol indicated that first-line, in-office, awake treatment with low-dose, submucosal triamcinolone acetonide injections (0.1-0.3 mL) can provide at least transient improvement in exudative vocal fold lesions.
Substantial resolution was defined as a reduction in lesion size of more than 50%.
